It looks like your doing things right.........good job!

 

[DaBenzsta08]

thanks guys.... anything anyone think i could improve on?

also what would be considered going over my bioload? Ive got an oscellaris clown, green chromi, algae blenny, fire fish. then my clean up crew 25 cerith snails, 25 turbo, 25 blue leg hermit, 1 emerald crab. If i wanted to add a type of smaller wrasse would that be too much?

That's one heck of a cleanup crew. Makes me feel like I should get some more snails an hermits for my tank.

I think it would look good if you put some kind of backing on the tank so you can't see through.

 

[DaBenzsta08]

yeah i think im going to put some type of black backing on it asap, it will bring out the colors i think even more. Yeah its a beastly clean up crew it sure does its job!!

 

[DaBenzsta08]

i think i need something in the top right. Can anyone think of any corals in particular that could stand tall and nice , maybe more rock? any input?

Looks great, but seems like alot of corals for only 4 months old. Have you had algae outbreaks yet.

 

[DaBenzsta08]

i had the initial one after first placement of live rock in the tank. but i think anything else that has happened must have been cleaned up so quikly by my massive cleanup crew that I didnt even realize it.

looks good, i like the favia

 

[tktodd]

Looks great!! What kind of lighting do you have??

 

[blackheart]

i would get more live rock before i added any more fish.

How much LR do you have?

 

[DaBenzsta08]

i have about 35-40 lbs of live rock in there.
